–National Police chief
Gen. Tito Karnavian has said the results of an investigation into a video
featuring executed drug convict Freddy Budiman found that no police
personnel were involved in Freddy’s narcotics network, as was claimed in the
recording.

"In the video, Freddy never mentioned anything
related to drug-related cash flow or any National Police personnel who received
it [...] We haven't found any evidence [to support the allegations] so far,
either in the video or in his defense notes, as well as in his lawyer’s
testimony," Tito said during a hearing with the House of Representatives
on Monday.

In a
statement to rights activist Haris Azhar in 2014, Freddy claimed he had
given Rp 90 billion (US$6,848,019) to police personnel as compensation for
protecting his drug business. The Commission for Missing Persons and Victims of
Violence (Kontras) chairman later released the recorded statement on
Facebook, one day before Freddy was executed on Nusakambangan prison island on
July 29.

Tito admitted that
Freddy had mentioned the names of three police personnel in the video. However,
after an examination commissioned by a joint fact-finding team, the three were
not found to have any links to cash-flow matters, he said.

The police chief
added that two personnel mentioned by Freddy in the video had previously
apprehended him in an operation. Meanwhile, the third officer had
earlier conveyed the government’s plan to create a prison island surrounded by
crocodiles.
